Leng Xuan, having identified the main culprit, tossed the person he was holding to the side and walked directly in front of Li Cheng, blocking his path. Then, he grabbed Li Cheng’s collar and hoisted him up.
Li Cheng’s heart was seized with terror, fearing that this man who killed without batting an eye was about to take his life. He pleaded for rcy repeatedly, "rciful sir, spare my life, rciful sir, spare my life. Please let go, I can give you a lot of money."
"Who is the mastermind behind you? Don’t you dare lie to ."
Li Cheng imdiately responded, "I’ll tell you, it was all Cao Shaoyi’s doing. I’m just in charge of managing things."
Just as that Cultivator had said. Leng Xuan nodded to himself. That’s when Li Cheng hurriedly spoke, "rciful sir, if you’re looking for trouble, you should go find Cao Shaoyi. He lives inside the Imperial Cao Palace. I’m just a small fry who handles affairs; I’ve never offended you. Please spare my life."
Leng Xuan chuckled coldly at these words, "Offended? I forgot to tell you that my purpose for coming here was indeed to find trouble with you. As for Cao Shaoyi, he has nothing to do with ."
"Looking for ?" Li Cheng suddenly burst into tears. He searched his mind and realized that he didn’t seem to have offended such a person. With that thought, he said with a mournful face, "rciful sir, I really haven’t offended you. Could you have mistaken for soone else? There are a lot of people nad Li Cheng in Baiyun City."
"Can’t rember? Let remind you then," Leng Xuan said, "Zhao Xiaoqing, you know her, right? She is my woman. Now do you understand?"
After hearing this, Li Cheng wanted to slap himself hard. He had offended such a terrifying person just to satisfy his own lust, and he was incredibly regretful. Luckily, he hadn’t done anything irreversible, and there should still be room to maneuver. With this thought in mind, he said eagerly, "This is my fault; I shouldn’t have had ill intentions. I deserve to die. rciful sir, I can make it up to you, however much you want, just na your price."
"Make it up to ?" Leng Xuan’s lips curled up in a cold smile, "How much do you think your life is worth in money?"
Li Cheng imdiately replied, "Fifty million."
"Fifty million?" Leng Xuan was taken aback, not expecting this fellow to be so wealthy; it seed his illegal businesses had been quite profitable over the years. Although Leng Xuan was sowhat surprised, Li Cheng mistook it for dissatisfaction, and for the sake of his own life, he said again, "Eighty... no, one billion. I’ll trade one billion for my life, is that okay?"
Leng Xuan was stunned for a mont, hearing the tone of Li Cheng, it seed his fortune far exceeded that. So he said coldly, "One billion, and you think your life is so cheap. What use is so much money if you are dead? I’ll give you one more chance. If the price doesn’t satisfy , then I’m sorry, but you can save that money to spend in the afterlife."
After a fierce inner struggle, Li Cheng finally bit the bullet and said with pain, "Five hundred million, I’ll trade five hundred million for my life. rciful sir, that is all my assets. Moreover, this money was secretly skimd from the casino, Cao Shaoyi doesn’t know about it, otherwise I’d already be dead."
"This..." Leng Xuan frowned and hesitated. In fact, he was already tempted, but he was well-versed in psychology and knew how to extract the greatest profit. He believed that after so many years of operation, Li Cheng definitely still had plenty of valuable things on him.
